I guess I shouldn't be "shocked" at the proposed changes in district boundaries, numbers, and the like. I understand the attempt at trying to save money, but it seems that this whole thing was never thought out. Even though many of the changes that need to be implemented are computer related, I can't see the phone company making sure that their land-based phones connect to the proper zone for free; the department computers will have to have their parameters changed to reflect the correct district/beat for their case reports, and nomenclature for detective units will also have to be up-dated. There truly is a cost of doing something over again instead of correctly in the first place. I wonder how many hours and money will be spent in these new changes. It is truly sad....

Who's watching iAd confidential? Sergeants who don't come to work for weeks at a time? Overtime off the charts? No sustained cases? Want to find the criminal behavior, start right there! Perfect FBI case. Ghost patrolling that would make The Sopranos proud.

This department is going to shit. 5 more to hit 20 years and I’m gone! The administration is bent on destruction. I feel bad for the citizens of Chicago, my fellow police officers and our families. The G8 is going to set this city back. You think the 1968 riots showed unfavorable footage. This time around this department is going to be the shame of the country. No proper equipment, not enough manpower and an aging force. They think our cops can meet the demands of violent protesters for 12 hours at a time. I see allot of cops falling out. You can take the overtime and shove it.

is the fat being trimmed from the department for a specific reason-- rahmbo knows that he will be in a death match with the department when the contract expires--- he will have to offer some type of a cherry to the rank and file or face a rebellion--- morale is low and if he tries to take away things that have been fought for in past years he will face a drawn out battle with fop and it's membership...

FYI. FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A HOME ALARM SYSTEM. THIS COULD HELP.

Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. Seniors can carry their car keys with them in case they fall outside and no one can hear their calls for help..... They can activate the car alarm and neighbors will know there's a problem.

How is this XO thing working out? Just what are the ex- captains doing now for 8 hours? How do the lieutenants like being the Station Manger ( free Watch Commander?) And how are the sergeants doing as substitute Station Managers (Watch Commanders?) This whole thing is beyond absurd.

call me cynical--but lets see if the district XOs ever work a full nine hour tour (they kept 4-2 with option to work holidays)....or if watches "lucky" enough to have two lts puts them in non-overlapping rdos.....

The Sun Times "story' that claimed the Mayor was going door to door in the hood handing out flyers for the reward in the officer's death made me ill. That Emmanuel would be so vile and use the death of a policeman to pander for votes really bothers me, and it should bother everyone.

He has taken 'not letting a crisis go to waste' to a new disgusting level.

These current politicians have no conscience, no soul. Vote them out. Vote out every last one of them. They, and this current system cannot be fixed.

Sure. Until the retro checks start being issued. Then the "united front" will drop to their knees, drooling and willing to sell their souls for one check.

-----------------------------------

Unless you have a neighbor who's car alarm has shorted out. First time it went off, I looked out the window to see what was going on. It turned off after a few minutes BUT then activated again shortly after. Each time that happened he had used his remote key control to turn it off.

It didn't take long, but the first causality of the wiz/blow test for officers already happened and it wasnt exactly residual alcohol from partying from the night before either. Stay home or get help now.

Patterson is now the XO of Patrol. Translated he is the deputy chief of patrol, Gene WIlliams' old spot.Its funny in the new XO order for patrol it states an XO will be a captain. Well Patterson is not a Capt, so I guess that XO order doesnt apply to him. Patterson will do a good job as XO, if allowed to do his job.

In terms of the economically related sources, both corporate income tax as well as sales tax could be viewed as somewhat outperforming expectations, while personal income tax has slightly underperformed and has struggled to achieve any real growth absent the tax increase. Looking ahead, the most likely scenario continues to call for modest growth over the remainder of the fiscal year and into FY 2013.

There's a nice recap of the State's pension situ. at the above link too.

--------

So what does that mean?

Well if the personal income tax revenue is not growing, all that b.s. about creating and growing jobs it just that... b.s.

I've said it before.

What kind of jobs are being created? Losing living wage jobs and replacing them with part-time shovel-ready min-wage poverty jobs is not going to turn this ship around.

Although to the weak-minded pointing incessantly at the job numbers and claiming that any increase seen there should automatically be correlated to a better life illusion works...for a while.

"Corporate income tax is somewhat above expectations along with sales tax."

But the little guy, the middle class Joe, their wages must be stagnant or falling because if they were making any money the personal income tax revenue would be increasing and it's not.

Either that or the number of people working and/or the number of so-called jobs being created are not paying krap.

So how can sales tax be up if personal income is not?

Either the only people buying things are the corporate elite class OR...OR people are buying on credit OR..OR they are pulling money out of their savings, IRA's or 401K's to get by.

How else would you get money to drive sales tax revenue higher?

The only other possible ans that I can think of is that the sales tax revenue is from out of state-ers right?

The news hype today is all about jobs being created but so far Illinois is not seeing any signs of it in their tax revenue growth.

Meanwhile we heard stories from hizz honor about a shortage of welders and aviation mechanics in Illinois.

Oh we have companies right now that need 600 welders and mechanics in the aviation field.

Ha...Boeing just announced layoffs of 2000+ shutting down op's in Kansas. Northrup and Bombardier laying off too. Google it.

Then today we get word from Alcoa.

"NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alcoa's global smelting capacity will be reduced by 12% after the company said it would close an aluminum smelter in Tennessee and some operations at a Texas facility..."

=====

Makes you wonder what those welders are going to be welding when they get out of the community college don't it? Those poor suckers.

In other news. Speaking of lies and rumors.

Unlike "the suspects are in custody" ones here's one on Bank of America's stock that drove the price higher by almost 10% yesterday. Those manipulative b--tards.

---

Bank of America shares rose almost 9% on Thursday to $6.31 on speculation that more mortgage refinancing help from the federal government could be on the way, but it appears now that won't be the case.

---

Nope.. Betcha a lot of exec's really raped some investors on that one!

-----

Finally Chicagoans should be asking what's the deal with Ford?

Correct me if I'm wrong but did the Gov. here not give Ford a nice big fat tax incentive to create and attract jobs here in Illinois?

Seems like that political corporate tax break extortion to create the much needed jobs in Illinois isn't working so good. The favored tax treatment status done little to sway Ford to building in Illinois.

New Pension law, signed and in effect yesterday. This is just CPD part of the entire bill HB 3813 to stop union pension abuse. Please remember, the FOP fought the Dept to make sure that its officers would not be subject to the rules of the Dept. No, random testing, no annual qualification, no training requirements (TARA, gas mask). . .

Quit picking on the inspectorsevery station supervisor ,xo , lt and sgt will be written up when an officer under their supervision has an unauthorized beard , goatee,dreadlocks , pony tail and long finger nails .

R.O. would love to try the thingamajig you described, but R.O.'s vehicle is not equipped with such a modern anti-theft system as it is a 1987 Buick Regal. My anti-theft device begins and ends at a steering column lock as my vehicle has a 'peeled' column (ask a district dinosaur what that is, Hairgel) after it was stolen and recovered...twice.

You see, the high cost of living in this Hellhole called Chicago, along with the likelihood of having a nice vehicle stolen, damaged by our shitty roads or totaled while driving through the ghetto to and from work by a drunken, uninsured sanctuary city 'resident' has made me think twice about buying a car with those fancy accessories.

Therefore, R.O. will do what he's always done when he's heard things go bump in the night in the past. That being grabbing the .45 or shotgun - whichever is closest at the time - and handling the business at hand.

That being said, my parents and all the other seniors at their group home really dug your suggestion, though. They debated it hotly in the common room after a Matlock Marathon earlier today just before their 10 A.M. nap.

I also have 5 more years until 20 but won't have the age to go so I guess I'll stick around for a little longer. I have to disagree with you about the G8 summit, the guys in 1968 had a helmet. We have helmets, vests, turtle gear,and at least some sort of training and we won't be totally alone. The big difference I think will be the footage. In 1968 most if not all the footage was newsreels, now everyone has a camera and everyone will be filming. If it breaks down into a riot, then it does and we will have to do what we have to do. I certainly won't be happy about getting hit with a bag of "crap" but I would be even less happy if the city who put us in the position we will be in decides to fire us for taking action. 5 more years buddy.

20 and out. Can't remember how many times I said that. Unfortunately your children get more and more expensive as time goes on. High school and college tuition is out of control. There's not a huge market for retired policemen unless you plan on working security jobs. Main reasons 20 and out doesn't work: having children after age 30: divorce, wife doesn't have a great job, you not having another career/business lined up. Try living on 60% of your salary (take home) and then take out another $700 - $900 per month for Health Insurance for you and your family. The way to survive for 15 more years on the job is by believing that you'll be done in 5 years. Then you get to 20 years of service, and you have too many bills and maybe a better work situation than 5 years ago, so you tell yourself two or three more years and your gone. Do that three times and the next thing you know, you’ve got 29 and a day, full pension, full benefits, and life is good. I could never figure out how retired guys would say: “The job flew by, it all seemed so fast, the kids are grown and gone, etc”. My reply when I had 15 years on: “could you please tell me if it goes by so fast, whats’s taken so mother fucking long?” Now I look back and it seems like it still took a long fucking time, but it’s worth the wait boys and girls. Hang in there. 31 and done.

"Thanks for taking away the death penalty gov quinn. illinois no longer has the death penalty cuz of this goof

1/05/2012 06:58:00 PM"

Well the Moratorium on Death Row inmates was instituted by George Ryan in a lame attempt to garner sympathy to keep him out of the Pokey. The wheels were in Motion to rescind the Death Penalty which in numerous studies has proven not to be a crime deterrent.

1/05/2012 11:09:00 PM

Crime deterrent? FUCK deterring crime. Crime will be here forever. What was taken away was a HUGE bargaining chip. These so-called "tough guys" would sell their mamas' soul when facing a possible death sentence.

Prayers go out to the big toe, the Sgt Hulka of 189, sgt L. viper the hammer S.

Appears that being in charge of that team of his has caused him to have heart issues. Kudos to the lads on his team for bypassing Jackson Park Hospital and taking LS to Christ, which was nothing but good to his team of renegades.

Hlock Gammer, Woody and No Fly List all phoned in support and prayers. Leeown and Jayrome were not able to but they be back.

If you think Henny Penny the 020th Dist. XO will work a full day, grab you belly and have agood laugh. She hasn't put in a full day since she started. She also had the perks none of us could have even imagined. But beware, she will definately hold you to a higher standard. Also, watch out for her temper tantrums.

Emanuel, who on Wednesday participated in a leafletting asking for the public’s help in finding Lewis’s killers, said the robbery and slaying do not embody Chicago.

“As I went door to door yesterday in Austin, I want you to know that I saw an outpouring of love and support for Officer Lewis,” Emanuel said. “…That is the city that we call home, and what happened the other night darkens our lives. That is not the city we know. That is not the city we love. And that is not the people we are.”

heh..hizz honor doesn't get out much does he? More like an outpouring of lead.

When is the fed going to do something about the count releasing Ice detainees. It was all over fox news last week. The fed sent a letter to request the count hold all ice requests. It said that if they don't fed grants may be witheld. Where is all the press coverage. I guess letting felons back on the street to comit more crimes, maybe murder, in ignored. Way to go Dart

Observations Made, While Walking and Riding My Bicycle Through The City.Now That The Daley's Have Left, Its Time To Get Rid Of Those Ridiculous Flower Pots. They Block Emergency Response Vehicle's From Using Center Lane's. They Force Bicycle Rider;s To Use Sidewalk. They Are Too Expensive Too Maintain. Note To Mayor Daley. The Fences Are Rusting Away. Your Friends Used Cheap Stock Metal. They Overdid The Cement Footings. They Have A Large Amount Of Cement To Hold Up A Cheap Metal Fence. Question; Why Did We Need The Fences In The First Place ?The CTA Enclosures Block The Sidewalks In Many Locations. They Force Baby Buggy's Out In The Street, In Many Locations. They Have No Drainage. When The Snow Melts On Top, The Water Forms Ice Around Them. In Makes Them Too Dangerous To Use In Winter Months.PS: Have A Nice Day ?

1/06/2012 07:53:00 AM

Maybe you don't file state income tax in Illinois, but the increase in sales tax is because they now include a line for an 'estimated' amount of sales tax you didn't pay. i.e. Either pay our 'estimated amount' or we will audit you and see how much you charged on your Visa card and PayPal account that you didn't pay Illinois tax on.

SunTimes reporting new information that Michelle Obama and Emanuel did not get along during his time as Chief of Staff and it also states the Hillary Clinton tried to get Emanuel fired during her husbands campaign. Seems like theirs a trend here...

Morning of the 4th! P/O from 007 blew a .09! Was drinking until 2300 the night before, and the early roll-call was his demise. If you lads have any sense at all, and you are out drinking the night before you have to work, you'll call and take 8 hours. Better to lose your time than your job!

1/05/2012 09:58:00 PM

Interesting. I work in 007 on the 2nr watch. I was working early roll call that morning as you say. Funny I didn't hear about this on the 4th of July or anytime since. Please explain why he was sent to blow on the 4th of July since taking the breathalyzer test for P.O.s just started January 1st 2012. More rumors????

Sorry again I apologize I thought you said July 4th. But if it happened Jan 4th it's being kept hush hush. Anyway be careful out there. They are trying to fuck you for drinking. It's funny how garry and other bosses can drink but nothing will happen to them. Just fuck the blue shirts and cover the exempt.

Once again, READ THE ORDER. The District XOs will be Captains. Units are open to others.

SA Anita Alverez announced (On a Friday of course) that she will not ask for a special prosecutor in the murder case of David Koshman in 2004. Daley Crime Family member Richard (RJ) Vanecko punched out Koschman outside a Rush Street bar in April 2004 and ran away before cops showed up. Gee Richie...If you didn't do anything wrong why would you run away? Fucking entitled corrupt bastard! RJ is now enjoying life in Southern California while young David continues to rot in his grave. I can only hope that there is a Judgement Day and this Buffoon POS goes straight to Hell for his crime. RIP David. You will get Justice some day. The Big Guy in Heaven is always the ...final word.

New book out about Racoon Eyes tenure as White Hosue Chief of Staff for Obama. Seems Michelle Obama hates this little conniving prick just like we do. Imagine this little dirt bag roaming around the White House pissing on anyone and everyone. This little bastard has no shame and will make your life miserable if you don't do things his way. We have already had a first hand look at just how low this prick will go to get his way. I almost feel sorry for Barack and Michelle having to put up with this creep for as long as they did. Well...just a little.

For those that are thinking 20 and out, think again. Unless you have a lot of savings and are planning on moving to a small town and have no kids in college and really do not like to do anything but sit on your front porch and read and drink beer. otherwise, keep working. For the fortunate few who have a good paying job waiting for them after retirement, god bless you. The others ? A 15 dollar an hour security guard.

Some of the new ordinances Racoon Eyes is proposing to our Alderfools for the G8 summit almost reminds me of pre-war Germany when Adolf was taking control. Funny how history has a way of repeating itself. Even stranger is the person who is asking for these powers. We all know what happened back then.

Half the floor in 610 gone. They took computers, phones, desks, file cabinets, the lot. RBT working along side HSG and SVU. No idea when new stuff is coming in for replacement, 2-3 weeks, best quess. Seriously, they took half the floor with no firm idea when it will be replaced.

Just like to give an update on the status of L. Viper The Hammer S, who as most of you all know was rushed to the hospital today. LS, the modern day version of SGT Hulka, the Big Toe of 189, is resting comfortably at home.

Earlier, when it was touch and go, and things appeared grim, our prayers were answered when a blast from the past, a distant voice shouted out "Damn Dawg, it's 1130PM and you steady playing"...and The Hammer's blood pressure began to rise.

Sitting in the hospital gurney, surrounded by the troops, and wearing the tightest 3XL hospital gown known to man, LS opened his eyes, awoke from his coma and stated "I saw Tebow...and he plays rugby". A welcome sight, and for the believers a well known fact, that Tebow does heal and that the New York Football Giants are not that good. These were two clear indicators that Viper was no longer walking with the angels.

As day became duck, then dusk became night, it turned out to be a great day, with a "Save Viper" sign posted on the jumbo-tron at the UC tonight before the Hawks went out, and played with heavy hearts, knowing "Our Guy" was recovering and resting at home and not at the ice to cheer the lads on. The burden and the stress from the ordeal of the day directly contributed to the lack luster performance but the boys will get em on Sunday when The Hammer leads them from the honorary captain spot. And the new york Hockey rangers stink too...bunch of rugby players!

I totally agree;Its all going to fall apart come summer, wait until they have real problems.

I'm gonna guess the ghost pay roll sgts in iad are Cline Merit picks. Seems to be a common theme with Clines merit picks. I thought Cline was a great Supe until I worked with some of his clout hoes. Like a cancer on every unit they were placed in and somehow still are in. Clout is King.

I just took the random on the 6 JAN 2012 and they had a line going through there, 20 min observation time in effect. I didn't see anyone fail but, more BS on this job.

Regarding the release of ICE detainees, you ask why the media isn't reporting on this.

oboma is a socialist/marxist/communist...he's following the communist rules of the road to destroy America and the Constitution by ignoring our country's laws...read all about it in socialist Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals and recognize oboma as the enemy in the White House that he is. All mainstream media, EXCLUDING all conservative media sources, WILL NOT report the news to you unless allowed to do so by their boss oboma. oboma is trashing our laws, our Constitution, and he has become more bold and open about the fact that he IS a socialist/marxist/communist.

I read about the ICE issue in www.freerepublic.com a week or two ago. You can also read all the news that the mainstream aholes won't print in www.theblaze.com, and www.drudgereport.com, to name a few.

oboma MUST be removed from office in the November election. IF he is not removed, our Constitution, our freedom and liberty will be destroyed and the evils like a oboma or rahm emanuel will continue to make our lives a living hell.

Elect a conservative or a Republican, ANYONE except oboma, or else you can say good-by to all that you have known and loved about the United States of America, and to your life and liberty and that of your family.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the Supt is wearing. Too many other issues of more importance.Especially when the order reads black gloves for Lewis funeral. This summer is was about wearing a long sleeve shirt in the summer. Long sleeved shirt is allowed year around as long as it is worn with a tie, which it was.Just saying, find something else to whine about

True that. Most white-shirts have NO balls or a spine when it comes to the attire and grooming of their subordinates, but now they can hide behind the new order.

1/07/2012 10:59:00 AM

If white shirts want to hide behind the new uniform or inspections order, then it follows that they could just as easily hide behind the existing ones. The order is not the issue.

The point is, when you pursue someone for the dreds, the nail stencils, the beads, the green streak in the hair, the chunky 'diamond' earring, the stained and frayed shirt or pants, someone will put their foot on your neck.

The day I went after a guy for dreds, our boss told me he was not to be disciplined, as he's 'one of my guys'. And what am I supposed to do about that? Fight my immediate supervisor over some goof's hair?

'Fair' is more fair for SOME people, and not so fair for others. Until this organization develops some professionalism and imposes discipline in a fair and unbiased manner, this b.s. will continue.

How do the lieutenants like being the Station Manger ( free Watch Commander?)

about as much as they like being glorified desk sgts---(desk stuff is of course "beneath them" - so why not pay them more to do a sgts job--but dont pay sgts more to do the same stuff when lt is off)...

"True that. Most white-shirts have NO balls or a spine when it comes to the attire and grooming of their subordinates, but now they can hide behind the new order."

1/07/2012 10:59:00 AM

maybe one could suggest.....that every person, as an individual, and as an adult, could assume the responsibility for arriving for work in the proper uniform......too much to ask?....in America, the ideals of individual responsibilities?

1/07/2012 07:09:00 PM

And, when they fail to practice individual responsibility, a supervisor needs to stand firm. That is their job.

If white shirts want to hide behind the new uniform or inspections order, then it follows that they could just as easily hide behind the existing ones. The order is not the issue.

(Not so. Looking the other way has become so pervasive, a new order was needed to give the white-shirts an excuse for no longer looking the other way, because without the excuse, they will enmasse just keep looking the other way forever.)

The point is, when you pursue someone for the dreds, the nail stencils, the beads, the green streak in the hair, the chunky 'diamond' earring, the stained and frayed shirt or pants, someone will put their foot on your neck.

(Sure will, when you let them and when they know you will buckle under. And, why do you have to pursue your subordinates? It seems you have this supervisor thing backwards in your head.)

The day I went after a guy for dreds, our boss told me he was not to be disciplined, as he's 'one of my guys'. And what am I supposed to do about that? Fight my immediate supervisor over some goof's hair?

(Fucking right, Sally. Politely and respectfully ask for their "protective order" on paper so you can present it to Cynthia White when she writes you up for not having the balls to correct the errant behavior of your subordinate. And if you fear the one bar/two bar will not like you, here's a news flash, they already do not like you, otherwise they would not have embarassed you like they did.)

'Fair' is more fair for SOME people, and not so fair for others. Until this organization develops some professionalism and imposes discipline in a fair and unbiased manner, this b.s. will continue.

(My God, have some balls and pride. I give a fuck about that jagoff wearing the bar/bars. If their stand-down order is not on paper, my shit will be. Unless you are owing to them or are afraid of them, for cripes sake, stand tall!)

In other words, nothing will ever change.

(It appears you are right because you are another one taking a paycheck under false pretenses, but the least you can do is use it to buy a backbone.)

coppers don't care , they wear goatees , dreadlocks , scruffy beards at award ceremony , president details , police officer funerals etc.bosses have no balls to correct uniform violations and grooming standards only goatee bitched about was McCarthy and he shaved it as soon as he was sworn inMcCarthy should spare every XO that allows officers to report to work with beards , goatees , pony tails , start at the top , can't blame the blue shirts when no supervisor corrects them

The Morado,s that were guilty of Class X Felonies are Trini Morado the XO,s brother, the second was Steven Morado the XO,s son . TRINI 18YRS GUILTY BY JURY, and STEVEN PLEAD OUT 10YRS. Juan Morado moved another gangbanger nephew into the house on 5158 S Normandy, to watch over the other nephew and misfits that live their. FYI his niece is a PO IN 010TH DISTRICT? QUESTION WHAT WILL IAD DO NOW? JUAN MORADOS VEHICLES WERE USED in the commission of these crimes. Also Juan and family told Bt 841 Po Barajas to leave the scene of the fire that nephew Andre allegedly started with a benzomatic, funny no pitbulls were in the house when the fire started. Oh the new nephew is Jose Torres, the XO,s sister is mama AMBROSE? LOVE THE PATRONAGE

My wife wanted to come in from out of state and see the sights of Chicago, spend money on touristy things, and buy stuff.

I told her no way in hell.

In the 70's and 80's I loved going to Chicago, but today I would much rather stay alive. Sorry to depress your economy any more, but you really should press for more cops. (See early New England history and "press" for what should be done to Chicago politicians.)

And by the way, "liberals" are not to blame for your problems; that would be "crooks". If you don't want police to be considered mentally deficient, you should correct your terminology.

You acted in your own self-interest when you thwarted your wife's plan. She might find a man with a spine in Chicago and leave your pansy ass. You'd be crying for months.

But, on the contrary, it does seem like you just might be a badass! Your apology for further depressing our economy was the act of a total brute. We will truly miss your estimated 2K because it would have straightened out our finances, for sure. NOT! I have a newsflash for you. You are a real idiot to even think about bypassing the internet, or your hometown stores, and consider traveling here to pay bleeding nose/squeeze-your-balls prices and taxes in this backward state, county and city. We don't even shop here on principle, so thanks for the assistance by doing the same.

And, your advice about pressing for more cops was a true revelation. It has never before been mentioned on the SCC blog until your post. Again, NOT! You are a total tool! Did you bother to read any previous threads and posts? You would have found scads of requests, demands and pleadings for more manpower.

Also, a big BTW right back at you, but liberals are the problem. They just happen to be crooks, also. Their liberalism, criminal acts of thievery and incompetence, are the problem. And, no, I did not vote for any of them.

You put your fingers in gear and tapped the keyboard without thinking or doing any research, which displays your mental deficiency. Take your own advice. You should make those corrections before commenting on the big people's blog, you pompous, arrogant and foolish person.

You should be glad you did not stray from your lofty perch located in Foolish, Podunk, USA. You wouldn't make it here.
